I decided to watch college football this afternoon, and had two moderately interesting games to choose from: Arkansas vs TAMU in Arlington, and Alabama at South Carolina.
There wouldn't be much suspense in the Aggie game. The only real question was whether TAMU would play well and lose a close game, or play poorly and get blown out. I saw Arkansas play Alabama, so I knew that an Aggie win was highly unlikely. As it turned out, the Aggies didn't play particularly well, but they still kept the game fairly close. Final score: Hogs 24, Farmers 17.
Over on CBS, Alabama's plan to repeat as national champs was probably derailed by Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks, who are better than I expected them to be. They whipped Georgia early in the season, back when I thought Georgia was good, but that win was diminished when the Bulldogs went on their losing streak. Still, they were better than the Tide this afternoon and proved it with a 35-21 win. Alabama has replaced Southern Cal as my favorite college team, and I've probably put the hex on them.
The bottom line is that I'm 0-2 on the day, and I expected to be 1-1.
